Started last night. On tonight and tomorrow this week, 8 episodes in total.
Premise is yet another reality show with stereotype contestants called The Favourite. They think the most popular with their housemates will win £10k. The real show centres on Josh, a shy, least TOWIE type. Unknown to the contestants, reality show zelebs plus Nick Grimshaw are watching and manipulating the show.
If Josh wins, the contestants get to share £100k.
Watched first episode and think I'll stick with it.

And they dial up the 'Guess What's Happening Now' Switch pretty darn quickly.
The contestants are such caricatures I’m astonished they found so many but props to them for getting on with stuff.
Episode 2: Amber Gill really should have straps on her top 😂
Yes i liked it. I don't normally watch this type of reality tv which in all honesty i find garbage but i wanted to watch this because there was one NORMAL person in there and he's the one who MUST win. The premise intrigued me so i'm sticking with it. I like the panel of Nick, Vicky, Amber and Pete who have to 'fix' it to make Josh win.
Josh reminds me a lot of the actor Jesse Eisenberg. He looks very much like him and shares the same facial expressions. I couldn't help but think back to the film Social Network.
As for everyone else they are SO self-obsessed, complete show-offs and like the poster above generally quite unbearable. I'm not really interested in any of them but the one i really can't stand is the huge bodybuilder bloke and the brunette from Newcastle. As for that OF girl, i would love to know how much money she makes annually to be in the top 1% of earners on that platform. If that's true why is she on the show because she certainly doesn't need the fake £10k prize that's been promised to them if they win.
So fcuking true! I also wondered where they found them. There's no one else in there that even comes close to Josh. Personally i certainly relate to Josh more than anyone else. I don't know anybody like the ones they've found to be on this show.
Not sure how they can do a series 2 but really looking forward to the next episode.
Yep same here, was surprised at how much I enjoyed last night's episode and looking forward to seeing more 👍
What's that lad's name who stuck up for Josh last night and voted him as his favourite? I'm terrible with names.....but I like him.....think he's from Manchester area
His name is Louie, he is my favourite at the moment, he doesn’t seem as up himself as most of the others
Ahh thank you....that's the one....Louie, I've been wracking my brain. I think he's great as he doesn't follow the crowd. Looking forward to the next episode
Wrong thread
The body builder is quite a nice chap really. Pretty face but the body puts me off
It's a bit fake as in Josh isn't really the nerd they have made him out to be.
He is a professional wrestler very used to being outgoing, shouting, playing the crowd and getting his top off.
His real full name is Josh Max Moore and his facebook page is here:
https://www.facebook.com/josh.maxmoore/
As seen in his profile picture, he is not the shy, quiet type they have dressed him up to be.
He goes out professionally as Josh Nomax and there are many videos of his matches on youtube:

Giving it big to the crowd.
Still, I hate plastic people and so out of all of them, I'd rather have Josh!
Me too! I'd rather go with Josh than any of the plastic people. And he doesn't have a bad body to boot!
